The Moving Finger: A Miss Marple Mystery | Agatha Christie

pick

This was an interesting Miss Marple mystery. A string of hateful letters in a village lead to a suicide, but maybe it's a murder after all? I liked the main character Jerry Burton, who is new to small town life and shocked by the proceedings. He reminded me a bit of Poirot's Captain Hastings, eager to solve the mystery but a bit in over his head

Sleeping Murder: Miss Marple's Last Case | Agatha Christie

pick

“No,” said Miss Marple. “You believed what he said. It really is very dangerous to believe people. I never have for years.”

Gwenda arrives in England from New Zealand. She's been sent ahead by her husband to buy a home for them & after several days house-hunting, Gwenda happens upon the charming village of Dillmouth. There is a house there up for sale & it's perfect for Gwenda & husband, Giles, (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf but Gwenda starts having strange déjà vu feelings so she escapes for a short break to some friends in London.

There she meets Miss Marple & after an outburst during a play at the theatre, Gwenda confides in her that she thinks a murder was committed in her new home. When Giles arrives he's not convinced at first but when evidence is found suggesting a mysterious disappearance around twenty years before, 1w

OutsmartYourShelf the couple decide to investigate further despite Miss Marple's warning to 'let sleeping murder lie'.

This is my least favourite episode of the 1980s TV series with Joan Hickson in the title role, but I actually really enjoyed the book. Although this is the 5th book in the series chronologically, it wasn't published until the 1970s & you can tell there has been a distinct improvement in the flow of the story & the fact that Miss Marple is more 1w

OutsmartYourShelf involved rather than being almost a side character. 4.5🌟

The Last Seance: Tales of the Supernatural by Agatha Christie (Collins Chillers) | Agatha Christie

I also redeemed some free fries today and the girl got confused and gave me two, so I brought one serving home and turned it into cheese fries with spicy mayo. It went down a little on the crunchy side while I read the first two stories in THE LAST SÉANCE. I remembered both, though not in great detail, and they left me excited to carry on with this deep dive into Dame Agatha‘s short horror. #deweyoct #readathon

BkClubCare Ok, what is going on with all this free food?! 4w

xicanti @BkClubCare it‘s Monopoly time at McDonald‘s. I‘ve also won six cheeseburgers, which is slightly awkward because I don‘t really like their cheeseburgers. I‘m saving the physical tokens to give away to people who ask me for food. That worked out pretty well last year. 4w

BkClubCare @xicanti - just NO ONIONS 🧅 okay? 👍🍔🍟 4w

The Last Seance: Tales of the Supernatural by Agatha Christie (Collins Chillers) | Agatha Christie

This week‘s library haul. The tagged book contains mostly stuff I‘ve already read, albeit a loooooong time ago, but there‘s one story that wasn‘t anthologized until 2018. I‘m excited! New-to-me Agatha Christie!

⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a solid little mystery. Nothing super thrilling but didn't drag either. For a Miss Marple mystery it doesn't really feature her much until the end. I'm not disappointed I read this story but it's not on my re-read list either. I say read it but don't expect to be blown away.

A Murder Is Announced: A Miss Marple Mystery | Agatha Christie

A Miss Marple mystery. I haven‘t read a lot of this series but I feel like Miss Marple doesn‘t show up a lot in the book. Most of it is the mystery unfolding and then Miss Marple finally shows up. This one definitely surprised me!

I enjoyed the twists and turns in this mystery and I found the conclusion satisfying. However, Miss Marple doesn't make an entrance until we're well into the story. I kept waiting impatiently for her to show up!
